Re: Who are maemoexperts?
 

I agree about not fighting or putting each other down, but using the word "experts" in your name (and using the maemo.org colours and fonts for your own enterprise), when nobody in this forum has heard of you, isn't a good start.

It's a bit of a chip on your shoulder, you know?

I didn't realise it would be taken like that. Hopefully all will be well that ends well.

Have to agree, it's setting yourself up for a fall. You should try to manage your audience's expectations if you want to build up a following.

If you really are there to post the latest rumours, call yourself Maemo Rumours... I'd certainly follow such a site! And because there's the word "rumour" I wouldn't be disappointed if an item turned out to be inaccurate, because that comes with the territory.

I've only posted release dates that Nokia have given to me. They weren't put across as rumours. The rest is factual information.

Re: Who are maemoexperts?
 

Well, what IS it that you want the site to do? Just publish whatever Nokia hands to you?

Humility is dead. Long live humility.

Maybe it's time to resurrect humility by all of us migrating over to maemoidiots.com. At the same time, we register maemoghosttown.com. That, of course, just becomes a redirect to maemoexperts.com.

Re: Who are maemoexperts?
 

Just some feedback as you did ask for it:

-As Qole said, using a logo similar to maemo.org is a mistake, it makes it look like you're trying to be something you're not.

-Don't mention shops and advertising on your site's front page, no one will visit your site for commercial reasons. You MIGHT eventually be able to make money from the site, MAYBE, but that won't happen if you're so up front about wanting to make money.

-The word "expert" is one of those things that only other people should use, you should never use it about yourself, especially if you're new to the scene you're writing about. You should use it about other people, especially certain people on this forum (not me! I'm still an idiot like I was in the tablet school days...).

-Just so you know, it is really, really hard to make money from this kind of thing in the long term, even when you have lots of visitors. Realistically the best you can hope for is to have a small supplementary income, and maybe be loaned some cool gadgets.

Thanks for the constructive feedback Krisse. It as certainly given me something to think about. As a lot of you dont know me, my intention was not to come across as arrogant and your feelings have been noted.
